  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

Dan will answer questions about Shanghai on Tuesday, July 11, at BudgetTravelOnline.com My Shanghai Is Better ThanYours Four years ago, Dan Washburn dropped everything, moving from suburban Georgia to China’s most dynamic city.

  • China Delight
    Friendly Planet Travel China Delight China OVERVIEW Introduction These days, it's quite jarring to walk around parts of old Beijing. Although old grannies can still be seen pushing cabbages in rickety wooden carts amidst huddles of men playing chess, it's not uncommon to see them all suddenly scurry to the side to make way for a brand-new BMW luxury sedan squeezing through the narrow hutong (a traditional Beijing alleyway). The same could be said of the longtang-style alleys of Sichuan or a bustling marketplace in Sichuan. Modern China is a land of paradox, and it's becoming increasingly so in this era of unprecedented socioeconomic change. Relentless change—seen so clearly in projects like the Yangtze River dam and the relocation of thousands of people—has been an elemental part of China's modern character. Violent revolutions in the 20th century, burgeoning population growth (China is now the world's most populous country by far) and economic prosperity (brought about by a recent openness to the outside world) have almost made that change inevitable. China's cities are being transformed—Beijing and Shanghai are probably the most dynamic cities in the world right now. And the country's political position in the world is rising: The 2008 Olympics were awarded to Beijing, despite widespread concern about how the government treats its people. China has always been one of the most attractive travel destinations in the world, partly because so much history exists alongside the new, partly because it is still so unknown to outsiders. The country and its people remain a mystery.

  • Din Tai Fung: Asia's Best-Loved Dumpling Heads to Europe
    Din Tai Fung: Asia's best-loved dumpling heads to Europe edition.cnn.com/travel/article/din-tai-fung-dumplings-europe/index.html Katie Hunt, CNN 2018年12月18日 (CNN) — It takes just a few bites to see why Din Tai Fung, a Taiwan restaurant chain, has become the world's most celebrated purveyor of xiaolong bao -- pork soup dumplings. To the uninitiated, the plump, ping-pong ball sized dumplings might not look much but each is a tiny, slurpable work of culinary art. Sponsor content by Discover Budapest - Spice of Europe Divine food and fine wines in fabulous Budapest No longer just the home of warming stews and crisp, cold beer, Budapest is innovating and reinvigorating Central European cuisine into something dynamic and thoroughly internationa Puncture the delicate bundle, each folded with 18 intricate pleats, with your chopstick. Allow the soup to rush out onto your spoon, sip the exquisite juices and then bite through the skin into a delicious pork filling. Be warned it could lead to a life-long addiction. It did for me. I first encountered Din Tai Fung two decades ago as a student in Taipei when a friend introduced me to the chain's very first restaurant in an unassuming building on the city's Xinyi Road. In Hong Kong, where I lived for a decade, Din Tai Fung has earned a Michelin star -- a rare accolade for a relatively inexpensive chain restaurant. On moving to London this summer I was thrilled to discover that Din Tai Fung was launching its first European restaurant in the British capital, which opened in Covent Garden 1/4 in December.
